Mid-Century modern glass house, in Menemsha, on Marthas Vineyard. Designed by a Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice, this all glass house, embodies the integration of nature and architecture, with simple utilitarian design in serene location, minutes from Menemsha or Lucy Vincent Beach. Built in the early 1960s, and recently updated, this all glass house, features 3 bedrooms, 2 bath rooms, and a large open concept living & dining area. The house features floor to ceiling glass in every room. There is a wrap-around deck around the entire exterior, and another deck around the interior open-air courtyard area. The house has a large, new outdoor shower, with a stone sink. There are distance water views of the vineyard sound and the Elizabeth islands. The house is a short 5 min drive from the Homeport Restaurant, Menemsha Market, Chilmark Store, or Lucy Vincent Beach. Awarded Progressive Architecture's design excellence award in 1963, this historical updated mid-century modern house, offers the best of simple indoor/outdoor living, with all updated modern conveniences.

New in addition to The Glass House in 2023, is The Studio, a gorgeous space (about 16 x 16), with a wrap around deck, that is bulit over looking a stream. This Studio is accross the driveway from the main house (about 80 ft) and can be used as an additional bedroom with a queen bed or a home office space.

FAQ - Privacy in a Glass House - Although the house is 100% glass, 100% privacy can be achieved as all the walls have curtains which can be closed for complete privacy. We typically recommend having the curtains open to enjoy the floor to ceiling views of the natural surroundings, and achieve the intended feeling of the living space's integration into the nature surroundings, but all rooms (bathrooms, bedrooms, etc) can be 100% private as you would need and expect.

    Exceptional! This house is so unique, beautiful and well equipped! The location was perfect for what I wanted. Very private, nature all around and many beach options nearby. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful with anything I needed…truly went above and beyond! Thank you for a long weekend I will never forget!

    We had the most amazing stay in Joe's beautiful home. Joe went above and beyond in communicating with us. The house was fully stocked with everything you would need. We purchased fresh seafood from Larson's and cooked dinner every night. We played chess, lit a fire in the wood stove and watched movies. We loved everything about it. The outside shower was amazing too. I can't say enough good things about our experience. It felt like we were in a big tree house and one with nature. We highly recommend Joe's home. Thank you! We will cherish the memories we made forever!

    Joes place is absolutely gorgeous, interesting and unpretentious in a picture perfect location. We were two families with tweens and teens and we had an absolute blast making meals for everyone, walking to the cove to wade and explore, and of course heading out to the beach. The house itself is an incredible experience, cannot recommend it enough. A total joy.

    This house is truly unique, and very true to its setting. It is a ring of rooms, all with glass and screen walls, surrounding a central courtyard. It makes you feel indoors and outdoors at the same time - in the best possible way! rcomfortable and we

    Exceptional in every way. This house is an energy-shifter. The minute you walk into the front door, the interior garden greets you and sets the tone to a most peaceful, invigorating setting. Think: living in the comfort of being inside without obstructions to the natural architecture of trees,impeccable gardens with screens doors throughout providing a constant breeze, as if you’re outside. The house is gloriously rustic yet modernized and squeaky clean. The vibe of this home & property is unmatched. We had the bonus of experiencing a rainy evening & overnight where the interior garden turned into an oasis of waterfalls created by the amazing design to hydrate the garden while creating a soothing soundscape. This, plus the rain sounds against the ceiling glass panels was an incredible treat. The outdoor shower was heavenly!! A highlight of each day for all of us. Beds were very very comfortable. Towels and linens, lush and ample. Beach towels and beach gear, aplenty. If you like to cook as we do, the kitchen is a chef’s dream. Everything you need, you will find. We were: 4 adults and 4 teens.

    I brought my 16 yr old daughter here with 4 of her friends as well as my 18yo and her best friend. This was the perfect set up for us. The 7 teens aged 16-18 loved the glass house and having rooms set around the courtyard. The girls were up late playing board and card games in the dining room every night. For me it was perfect to have the studio set away from the main house where I could retire to early. We have been coming to Chilmark for 13 years and this house was so unique and had many neat features. The outdoor shower was the best outdoor shower experience I have ever had - the bamboo surrounding and spacious shower were highlights! Proximity to menemsha was great. 15 min walk to menemsha for the best sunsets ever which is nice since parking can be tricky at menemsha. Thank you Joe for a great stay!
